My Second @StitchFix: Keepin' It Cool for Fall Y'all!

My last fix was amazing, I ended up keeping two items and contemplated keeping it all. This month is only fix number two and I'll be honest and say that I didn't love my fix, although a few of the items were kind-of winners and I actually ended up keeping one thing.

That's the thing about having a personal stylist pick out clothes for you, they don't always know exactly what you want. So instead of assuming my stylist can read my mind, I'm pinning more inspirational outfits and hoping that we are on the same page for my next fix.

So today, instead of asking what I should keep... because I was delayed posting this. Oops! I just want to share my fix items and see what you think about them. Should I have kept something I didn't keep? Which item is your favorite in the fix?

This dress fit really well and it was super comfy, I actually almost decided to keep it but then I realized I didn't love the way the stripes look on my body. New rule for my wardrobe - if I don't love it, then it shouldn't be mine! So back this went...

Now that I'm looking at it, this shirt actually does look okay in photos and that's why I grammed it when I was sharing that my box had arrived... but I really didn't care for this shirt in general. I like the "idea" of the shirt, I suppose- the boho look with a comfortable vibe, it's totally cool for someone bigger than me... but this fit and this color look horrible on me. I lost weight, I want to show my curves and this top was so loose it made me look bigger... So this was a definite no and quickly went in the bag to be shipped back to StitchFix.

The next item in my fix was a pretty great pair of jeans... but again, they weren't my favorite. The fit wasn't perfect for me and I want a killer pair of jeans if I'm going to pay $98 for them and this pair doesn't fit that bill. I think my Stitchfix stylist knows I need new jeans though, because this is the second pair I've been sent. Maybe I'll get a skirt in my next fix?! That'd be rockin', actually!

This bright shirt is another miss for me. The loose fit would be good if I were expecting or going to the buffet sometime soon, but I'm not... so this shirt was a definite no.

But kudos to my stylist because I do love the back, with a little peep hole. I also think the color is decent... but this wasn't a must-have so back it went to Stitchfix!

The last item in my fix is this Faux Leather Jacket and I fell in love the second I saw it. I've been eyeing jackets like this on Pinterest and knew I wanted one to wear on the cold days here in Florida. The fit of this jacket, the fun buttons, the up-to-my-neck zipper, all the little details and the numerous ways I can wear it, I'm in love! This was the only item I kept in my fix and it actually happened to be cool out the day my fix came so I wore it the day I received itand look forward to wearing it again soon.

So with all of that said, do you want to give StitchFix a try? I highly recommend it, even if my box was less than desirable this month - I have faith that I'll keep receiving awesome items and that if you sign up your stylist will hook you up with awesome new additions to your wardrobe as well.

If you sign up, be sure to let me know what you think about your first fix! Also, I'd love to hear your opinion on the items I received, would you be happy if they came in your fix?
